The irony being he was discussing Zombieland at the time, which is, quite literally, two episodes of a proposed TV show stuck together to make a movie running time and has no narrative structure at all. One of the dumbest things i've heard on the radio in some time.

I haven't seen Bride Wars but Harry Brown is by far the worst film I've seen this year. It is a horrible display of Daily Mail politics framed through the eyes of a filmmaker who aspires to be Guy Ritchie, but who is even worse at being Guy Ritchie than Guy Ritchie is. The shot on the motorbike at the beginning being a prime example of horrible filmmaking. Awful, cartoon characters throughout.
Please stay with us Dr Kermode and don't retire even if there are 10 films worse than Bride Wars.

It also wasn't really that funny. Silly hippy types just associate themselves with "The Dude" and then love the film because of it. It is not a good film!
